Falcons take Johnson to close out the third

With the Falcons second selection in the third round, and the final pick of the round, the Falcons chose Alabama guard Mike Johnson.

Johnson got a lot of experience as a fixture on Alabama’s line as a three-year starter on what was one of the top running offenses in college football the past few seasons, helping clear lanes for 2009 Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram. Back in February, Johnson was tabbed as a player that could be a really good fit for the Falcons.
